Gulfstream G650 reviews

The Gulfstream G650 design is ingenious in its clean, simple and efficient approach to speed and range, but it’s important to understand that this is arguably the most advanced business aircraft on the planet.

Robert Goyer

Flying

At 45,000 feet, the air pressure in the G650ER’s cabin feels like the altitude is only 4,030 feet. Depending on its configuration, the 47-foot-long cabin can seat 18 passengers and sleep 10. At six feet three inches tall and eight feet two inches wide, it offers plenty of headroom and elbow room.

Larry Bean

Robb Report

Since its introduction in 2012, the long-haul, large-cabin Gulfstream G650 has quickly become a popular ride for the world’s elite. More than 200 were delivered during its first four years of production to corporations including ExxonMobil, Bank of America, and Walmart; global potentates from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait; and such billionaires as Paul Allen and Larry Ellison. What sells the G650 is the trifecta appeal of speed, range, and cabin size.
